I'm pretty sure it's to the version that is 12 months behind when you stopped subscribing. You have to subscribe for an entire year to own the version when you started.
So if you subscribe for 12 months, and then cancel, you actually have to revert back to a version 1 year old. It's pretty messed up.
Plus the updates have REALLY been lacking. They have missed the quarterly releases regularly and it just feels like very little has actually been added.
- codewithcheese 9y agoYour essentially paying for the product at the time of your payment and a 12 month subscription to updates. From that point of view it makes some sense that once your subscription is finished you revert back to the original product you bought you when subscribed. It does seem unnecessarily punitive though.

- 0xTJ 9y agoI prefer the model with Matlab, where you pay once, get a year of updates, and keep the last version.

I believe you just get to keep using whatever you were using when you stopped payments. You have access to minors updates to that version, but not to major updates from version to version. I think it's a smart balance.
